The National Health Insurance Administration (NHI) in Taiwan plans to expand the uploaded fields for the LOINC standard this year, starting with pilot implementations at major medical centers. This aims to standardize laboratory test data across all healthcare institutions and display this information in future platforms like 'Health Pass' and cloud drug records.
The 'Southern Taiwan AI Smart Health Expo' was held in Tainan, demonstrating the region's expansion from semiconductors into AI healthcare. The government plans to standardize electronic health records across all of Taiwan, expanding coverage to primary care by 2028.
The Ministry of Health (MOH) has completed and released a comprehensive LOINC crosswalk table specific to Taiwan. This initiative addresses inconsistencies in hospital testing data formats, covering nearly 99% of subsidized tests, thereby establishing a national standard language crucial for medical AI and FHIR interoperability.
The Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW) is holding the 'LOINC Medical Testing Data Standardization Achievement Presentation' to promote medical data standardization and smart healthcare development. The event highlights the importance of establishing a nationwide, unified testing data structure by adopting the international standard code LOINC, along with various practical application cases.
The Taiwan Medical Imaging Information Standard Association (MISAT) held the 'TW Connectathon 2026' to validate the interoperability of medical information systems. This year, the event focused on four major themes: TW Core FHIR capability validation, pre-approval for cancer drugs, SMART on FHIR application authorization, and International Patient Summary (IPS).
The Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW) established national medical data interoperability using FHIR technology and national standards. This allows patient records from different hospital systems to flow instantly and securely, reaching a stage by late 2025 where they directly support AI clinical decision-making.
The Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW) revealed 'FHIR Box,' a data exchange system designed to standardize medical records and achieve nationwide electronic health record interoperability. It aims to build an open foundation that allows all hospitals to share patient data, targeting full deployment across Taiwan by the end of 2027.
The Ministry of Health and Welfare established a national foundation for medical data sharing using FHIR technology and national standards, enabling real-time and secure circulation of patient records across hospitals. This advances Taiwan toward a next-generation smart healthcare ecosystem capable of supporting AI clinical decision support.
The National Science Council (NSC) announced achievements in the smart healthcare sector through collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Welfare. Taiwan successfully established a mechanism to securely and standardize the circulation of medical records using core data standards while maintaining existing systems.
The Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW) has presented a '333' blueprint to advance Taiwan's digital healthcare. This aims to institutionalize data governance, security, and AI usage across three major areas, enhancing international competitiveness.
Taiwan's Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW) advanced its 'FHIR one-stop conversion tool.' This tool standardizes electronic medical records by refining text and recommending international codes like SNOMED CT and LOINC, achieving an overall recommendation accuracy of 91.3%.
The Ministry of Health and Welfare's Information Department announced that to solidify Taiwan's smart healthcare foundation, it has set three key governance priorities: Data Governance, AI Governance, and Cybersecurity Governance. This includes ensuring data interoperability through the adoption of international standards like FHIR and SNOMED CT, and establishing frameworks for responsible AI implementation and management.
The Taiwanese healthcare system released the 'TWPAS IG v1.0.8,' a guide based on FHIR standards. This guide defines the structure of DiagnosticReport, demonstrating how to standardize pathology reports and patient information using LOINC codes.
This article provides a technical guide on mapping methods using the data transformation tool FUME and the programming language JSONata, specifically for FHIR resources. It introduces advanced operations useful in practice, such as checking for input data existence and array handling.
